A post different from the usual.I am deeply sad and shocked by the sudden death of Bharati Chadha of ETHAAN. The first time I saw her was at a winter dastakar in 2009.From then on she remained friends with me ,a very natural person as she is ,very gentle always and an eversmiling face.I still have the mail in my inbox which says she missed seeing me the last Dastakar............I am still looking at the mail with tears in my eyes.My love and support to Ritu in continuing the effort of craft work.

Splashes of red and green make my Christmas world.The bit of the mood at home.My daughter decorated the tree and i kept telling her the stories of red and green colours of Christmas.The dark lustrous green leaves and the red ,shiny ,luscious berries of christmas season.The evergreens in winter and the fairies that live with them I couldn't help but keep adding the ideas that inspired me this Christmas,those last minute simple festive decor touches.Simple pieces mixed with bright colours make wonderful Christmas Decor.
